Boris Diaw, PF29 MIN | 3-8 FG | 0-0 FT | 6 REB | 3 AST | 6 PTS | +5Too careless with the ball, finishing with 4 turnovers. Had a couple during a stretch in the 3rd where the Bobcats turned it over 4 times in 5 possessions, threatening to let Toronto build a lead.

Bismack Biyombo, C32 MIN | 3-4 FG | 2-4 FT | 13 REB | 0 AST | 8 PTS | -4A triple double with blocks seems like it could very well be in his future – it’s amazing to watch Bismack cover ground both recovering to his man on a pick and roll and in help defense.

Kemba Walker, PG30 MIN | 5-15 FG | 3-3 FT | 3 REB | 8 AST | 14 PTS | +14While Kemba finished 5-15, he was at 5 of 11 at one point. Overall, a nice game, with the 14 points, 8 assists, and a huge steal off Leandro Barbosa late (earned the bump from a B to a B+ with that play).

Byron Mullens, C14 MIN | 1-3 FG | 2-2 FT | 6 REB | 1 AST | 4 PTS | +7Better rebounding – generally – for 7-feet of smooth. Still slacks a bit and doesn’t do a great job of getting a body on a man prior to looking for the board, and that bites the Bobcats at times, since Byron is not a high-riser and the opponents can get over him for a board if he is not slowing them down.

Two Things We Saw

A win. For the first time in over a month. The Bobcats played well (for the most part) during the fourth and earned this one. Happy birthday, MJ – the streak is over.

Kemba and D.J. played side by side for a large portion of the second half, and with Toronto going with Calderon and Barbosa in the backcourt, the Bobcats were able to make do, while staying in a man-defense.
